Believe it or not !!!!28 September 2008 ,Is Suvarnabhumi  Airport's  second  anniversary. Looked  at  another way, it's proof  that  he  country's  international  airport has  survived  the  predictions  of  disaster  cast  for  it  by  astrologers  from  all  over  the  conutry.  wonders if superstitions, it actually  pays  to ignore  supernatural  predictions.  But  despite  accusations  that  the administrators  or  The  Airports  of  thailand  Public  Co.,Ltd  or  AOT  ignored  the  warnings,Chotisad  Asapaviriya, the former president, thinks he took care of everything .  Throughout  the  time  of  his  tenure,  while  AOT  powered  ahead with  what  needed  to  be  done  to  open  the  airport  on  schedule,  Chotisak also  made  sure  the  heavenly  powers  were  behind  them.the area  over  which  Suvarnabhumi  Airport  lies  today was  formerly called  Nong  Ngu  Hao,  or  Cobra  Marsh.  Many  snakes  were  killed  during  constructionChotisak  started to pray  each day for all the smakes's spirits, following his friends' advice.  Soon ater, Warin  Buawiratlert, well known as the Council  of  National  Security's fortune teller, suggested five shrines  be  built  at  the airport to worship five gods. Later, it was claimed the spirit of the land possessed a man during a religious ceremony, demanding a shrine be built for him.Now there are six shrines in total."While I was having the shrines built, many criticisec me for being foolishly superstitious.But i reckon what i did for the invisibles at least worked psychologically."Academic Taweesuk  Sompoch has declared that praying is a from of mind training that recogises the Buddha, Dharma and the Sangha's virtues while wishing for the well being of other creatures. i think it's unbelivevable but know for along time about the land around The airport  'Nong  Ngu  Hao ' Many  snakes  were  killed  during  construction !! try to think you will Believe it or not it is not important heehhehe but i believe about ghost heheheheeh lollllll i know you think i'm silly heheh

It's one of my favorite airports especially when I'm flying in

Thanks for the story and the video.

Now, I know why there is a giant snake statue inside the airport....hehe

Well, I got to pay my respect to it, the next time I arrive.

What a wonderful story.

Thanks for sharing, Dr Jan.

is the above snake painting with the topless woman hung up in the airport?

didn't know that... I like the new airport better than the old one..

Your story reminds me of the name 'Schiphol'. That's the international airport in Amsterdam.

Schiphol literately means 'ship hole' or 'hull'. It used to be in the corner of a lake. Skippers always narrated about how dangerous and spooky that place was, many ships have sunk there!

NYCTreeMan : its real snakes and alot of snake no mean snake painting pic ka its real story

The Thai authorities hoped that Suvaranabhumi, which means Golden Land, would rival the airports in Hong Kong and Singapore and cement Thailand's reputation as a regional hub.

Suvarnabhumi boasts the largest passenger terminal in the world

Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a coup in September, made the project one of the main priorities of his administration, and the $4bn glass and steel airport should theoretically be able to handle 45 million passengers a year.

But since development started more than 40 years ago, the project has been mired by a series of problems.

Politicians from Mr Thaksin's administration were accused of buying up land in advance of construction, to sell on again at huge profits, and the purchase of the airport's high-tech X-Ray scanners was also tainted by allegations of corruption.

The project also suffered many delays and accidents, including a fire that swept through a catering hall, killing a member of staff.

Even supernatural forces seem to have been against Suvarnabhumi, and dozens of people reported seeing ghosts during the construction process.

I have mixed emotions about the airport in BKK, I like it very much when I am landing but I hate it when I have to go home. Always sad when other creatures are affected by progress

great journel ja nong jan loved it! mad me felt so pround of our contry hummm!

I feel really bad about the snakes and now I better understand about the snake statue in the Airport.

Thanks for the information, Doc!!!

Snakes...I can't relate to them....but the video makes me miss me Thailand so much! I can't wait until I see my Thai Airways plane in Copenhagen airport :-) ...for some reason, Suvarnabhumi looks nice when you get there but boring when you leave...now, how can that be?

I'm thinking about getting Naga tattoo on my shoulder.

Well, it is a very nice and interesting story about how the spirits are important in Thailand.
